EAST SETAUKET, N.Y., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has completed the construction of a new bridge in Burrill Lake, just south of Ulladulla, NSW. The $58 million project involved the building of a new bridge over salt water, and the design and construction of the new structure has set new standards for infrastructure projects in the region.
The new Burrill Lake Bridge is a testament to the innovative engineering and construction practices used by the RMS, which have enabled the creation of a structure that will last for decades to come. The new bridge is equipped with pedestrian and cyclist access, and its design ensures that it can withstand 100-year flood event conditions.
One of the standout features of the new bridge is its use of the Penetron System. The Penetron System is a state-of-the-art waterproofing solution that was used to protect the precast prestressed beams from the corrosive effects of the marine environment. The use of Penetron products helped the project meet RMS B80 compliance guidelines and address the high chloride content in the air, which is known to cause significant damage to concrete structures exposed to marine environments.
The use of the Penetron System has resulted in enhanced durability for the bridge, making it more resistant to extreme weather events and reducing the need for future maintenance. The innovative solution provided by Penetron is a testament to the commitment of the RMS to deliver infrastructure projects that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing, but also built to last.
The Burrill Lake Bridge project has been hailed as a major success, with local residents and tourists alike benefiting from the improved infrastructure in the area. The project is a shining example of the importance of investing in infrastructure that is designed to meet the needs of the community, and to ensure the safety and longevity of critical infrastructure assets.
In conclusion, the new Burrill Lake Bridge is a remarkable achievement for the RMS and the construction industry as a whole. The use of the Penetron System has ensured that the bridge will remain a vital part of the region's infrastructure for decades to come, while providing enhanced safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists. The project serves as a testament to the value of investing in innovative solutions that deliver long-lasting benefits for the community.
